Freeride

My twin brother and I were born in the San Francisco Bay Area in 1985. We moved to Lake Tahoe in the early 90s where I became obsessed with skiing. Whenever snow didn’t cover the ground, we skateboarded. This is where I learned about style. If a skater had sloppy style, it didn't matter how good he was. This is the mindset I brought to skiing, and in the late 90's it was my belief that skiing was going through a bit of an identity crisis. As twin tip skis came out and the freeski movement began, it became my mission to make skiing look cool again. A lot of that early mentality has stayed with me throughout the years as I still strive toward making my visions happen on skis.

Interview

1. Favorite Völkl Skis

Bash and the BMT 122

2. What do you use this ski for?

The Bash is my go to ski for deep days and on days I will be skiing a variety different terrain. I like to have the option to land or take off switch if I find myself inspired to try some tricks. The BMT 122 is my touring and big mountain charging ski. I use it for hard charging lines and anything big I just want to ski.

3. Why do you like this ski?

I like the Bash because it’s a good well rounded ski thats wide enough to float on the deepest of days but can hold and edge at the resort too. I like to bring it when I don't really know what type of skiing I might find myself doing. I dig how light the BMT is. They feel like paper, yet you can load up a GS turn on them without going over the bars. I am very impressed with the dynamics of such a light weight ski.

4. Why do you like being a part of the Völkl team?

It’s a rad crew of talent from all over the world and I'm proud to be a part of it but most of all, I love the brand and the people behind it.
